Abstract

Ayurveda, an ancient system of medicine rooted in India, offers a treasure trove of herbal and mineral formulations. Yashada Bhasma1 and Yashada Pushpa Bhasma are two formulations that have gained popularity for their potential therapeutic properties. Traditional Ayurvedic medicines, such as Yashada Bhasma, have been used for centuries to treat various ailments. However, with the surge of interest in Ayurvedic medicine, there is a growing need for rigorous scientific assessments to evaluate their safety and efficacy. This study assessed the subacute toxicity of traditional Ayurvedic medicines, Yashada Bhasma and Yashada Pushpa Bhasma, in Swiss albino mice. This paper presents the results of a comprehensive toxicological study conducted on Swiss albino mice to determine the safety profiles of Yashada Bhasma and Yashada Pushpa Bhasma. These findings underscore the importance of proper dosing and further research, facilitating the safe and effective use of these traditional Ayurvedic preparations in modern healthcare.
